I’m calling it. This man is going to be the reason for a brake clean shortage.
Ray’s got nothing on PTT w/Arod when it comes to brake clean.
@@TonyLasagna or vice grip garage for that matter. They use is as wasp spray, cleaner, gas, and all types of other shit.
Brake clean is great stuff, but kinda too expensive to use as a pressure washer. Maybe not to expensive for Ray...
You're right, I got there first so now my local AutoZone is OUT!
@@noimagination99 OUT to you, On hold for this man when he runs out. Lol
Now I know what the "shop supplies" fee is for! I can't wait to have the opportunity to try the brake clean pressure washer 👍
i just did it at work yesterday:D works very well:D
the CRC Heavy Duty Degreaser that foams cleaned the hell out my coil packs and top my engine from years of oil spillage and gummy crud (last owner must have had real shaky hands) plus it’s safe for plastics. Quick spritz of that then some carb/brake clean and it comes right off shiny
I couldn't imagine the brake clean high this dude got from all that brake clean, for me it took like 10 seconds of using brake clean before everything started spinning lmao
I've found that stubborn grease/oil buildup comes off way easier when I soak it in WD40 for a few minutes while I do the repair, then I use brake clean on it. It's the difference between using 1/2 a can and 3 cans of brake clean.
Yeah if he soaked it and agitated with a brush it would save a lot of cans of brake cleaner per year 😅
Ray likes to use multiple cans regardless of the need.
100% agree, brake clean evaporates far too quickly to dissolve into thick grease so you are just using it like a firehose. WD40 or pretty much any penetrating oil will soften this up.
@@deborahgeorge3238
It’s fun!
But: time is $$ and depending on the hourly shop rate (and the fraction of that going to Ray) AND the previously made statement that the shop pays for the atomic grease blasters, Rays way makes sense.
Personally, I've managed to make one can last (many moons ago) for TWO rebuilds of 1960s era military "Jeeps" (MUTTS).
BUT I'm cheap and my weekends were too...
You honestly do single handedly keep the brake clean industry in business. Wow, just Wow....
For fun & reference, it would take about 20 years of non-stop, constant 60 mph driving to reach 10 million milles.
(1 mile a minute x 1,440 minutes in a day. Plus one day of driving every 4 years for leap year.)
Or driving at 174km/h (108mph) for the 11 years straight its existed to get to it.
Yeah I came here to say that. That car has either been tampered with or the video is clickbait. Not possible for it to have that many miles on it.
@@TehButterflyEffect or its just ford and their wonderful malfunctions
Yea I got 22 years at 70mph non stop
There’s not even a semi with 10 million miles on the clock. I call bullshit
A google search for differential leak on a Ford Mustang turns up thousands of results mentioning a technical service bulletin to replace the vent with a vent hose kit. A good service writer should have caught that.
Most server writers have little experience or the experience they have is from working at a parts store. Whenever something technical comes up I get dragged over to the phone and have to explain
Yep. Leaking axle vents is an extremely common problem on this era of mustang.
that sounds like the write thing to do
Always check service recalls and bulletin 👍🏻
@Jeff Karpinski l would have done the same thing, and keep in mind that, I have been a master mechanic for over 32 years, so it's not the mechanic to blame for Ford and the cheap cost of the product, like a Mustang.
Good to see a mechanic who isn’t trying to rip people off I really care about the work they do
Call Guinness tell them Ray has broke record for highest amount of brake clean used on one vehicle!!
I wonder how much she was charged for "shop supplies" lol
minor correction, Brake cleaner used on vehicle while not actually cleaning brakes.
That is gunna come back!
I dont know.....I gotta feeling that Eric O. from south main auto may be the keeper of that record lol. Anyone who has seen his channel knows he is a hard core brake clean user!
Sure shot refillable canister should be in all shops.
It's impressive how clean that dif is after 10000000 miles.
Never was 10 mil
Thats ford quality for ya
I was going to say the same thing.
2:57 "it's for my channel only". haha. that cracked me up. Love you dude.
Those $1 laundry scrub brushes work wonders for getting rid of caked on grease.
Bit of degreaser or brake clean a quick scrub, then a blast with degreaser or brake clean again to rinse the crap off and it comes up looking like new.
Might be faster than finding shop air and using 3 cans of brake clean.
Ya nothen like giving the car a nice coat of brake clean and grease. Some brake clean and a rag would of cleaned it in two wipes
I dunno man that brake clean air gun looked kinda fun if ya ask me… sometimes ya just gotta live a little 🤷🏼♂️😂
@@KirbyJ89 lol someone should make an attachment for shop air guns so you can mount a can on them like a paint sprayer.
I like using engine shampoo and a tire lube brush to really get it in there, I then hit it with a pressure washer and everything comes right off. I know a lot of shops don't have that on hand but it's cool to see how we all do different things to achieve the same result
Lolol, but then you're 2/3 of the way to a flamethrower.
A friend had this issue and I guess it's a common issue on 2011-2013 mustangs. The vent needs to be replaced.
Bet invent stuck open
@@Dirtyharry70585 yep it looked like after Ray sprayed around the vent it was moving freely.
I think the dealer fixed that on my 2012 many years ago when my wife took it in for other service.
Great Mexico
A friend’s 2012 needed a new diff shortly after it was bought used with 36k miles. Fixed under warranty but I bet this was the problem with his too.
Back in the 70s when I worked at an Exxon station we had a handy dandy 15 gallon barrel of gear lube with a pneumatic pump and nozzle to fill differentials and manual trannies (can I say that here?) We never had to mess with gear lube bottles. Checking the diff was part of every oil change we did.
Back when people got their monies worth.
Sometimes watching yours & others repair and shop videos am amazed at the amounts of brakeklean and carbklean used, guess I'm just old fashioned,, scrape, wirebrush, and then the kleaner of a shop towel or rag
My 96 ford e250 went to 399.999 and rolled to 300,000. It's done that twice. So it has 530,000 miles on the 300 6 short block. 2 plastic cam sprockets. Done in engine. Not an easy job. A head at 350k. 5 radiators . Water pumps and fan clutches.
I had the same issue and also thought a bad weld could contribute to the leak. Checked the fluid level and added 1 0z of oil dye, drove and found it was the check ball in the vent cap. No more worries about the axle tube.
Interesting. Was never aware of "oil dye" before.
I know from my experience with trucks that when a vent cap gets plugged the diff will spray out fluid due to the pressure from the heating of the rear, clean up the plug and change the oil. You cleaned the rear end up too. You’re my hero.🤣
As always, you’re great. Thanks from the North.
As a 37 year mechanic, I have to say it's very relaxing to watch someone else doing the work! LOL. But I am surprised you didn't actually remove the vent to blow through it and make sure it is not plugged.
eh, if its plugged it aint leaking, right?
@@Peter-wo4uo If plugged, can be forced out through the seals and joints as he noted.
Apply thread sealant to vent plug.
Tighten vent plug, add hose, secure suspended above axle assembly. Possibly add small breather filter/fuel filter.
That's a great idea. Old school mud running 4x4 style.
RIGHT ON- 4x4 SHOULD HAVE LONG VENT HOSE .
If you noticed he had removed a cap on the vent and cleaned it because it was plugged with oily dirt a car like that is not expected to be used off-road so it really isn't necessary to have a long hose. It could be just the climate where the car is used because as you know in warmer climate oil will expand a lot more and as he said if you're basically hot rodding it it's going to heat up faster and expand. In that case a taller vent would be sufficient.
Us old school guys would have lifted the car first, cleaned it real well and then test drove it. That would better reveal the leak and problems like leaks at the tube/differential joint or cracks in the tube, One time I found the crude was holding a broken vent in place. Just an FYI, for future reference.
One more question. Where is the vent hose? Back in my day there was a hose going from the vent tube up to keep water out when going through puddles.
Absolutely the best way, save from having to do it twice.
Pretty sure they dont put them on rwd cars because they're not meant to be in deep water and if you are in deep enough water to get water into the vent well your interior is going to be flooded.
I've worked on plenty of old cars that don't have a hose on the vent. It is designed to be one way to relieve vapour build up and not allow anything in. It's the build up of crud that prevents them closing so oil vapour leaks out.
It's been my experience that cars just get the cap style and the hose goes on 4x4 trucks, jeeps, and anything that can be considered to be used off-road
@@TheFallenAngel13524 so water gets inside. We saw that all the time. Unless it got deep enough to get in the dash it was no problem. Take out the seats and carpet, clean them and let them dry, throw out the batting and replace it. Reinstall the cleaned and dried seats and carpet and you are ready to go.
Those wobbly vents work ok but require cleaning. The axle seal probably started leaking because the vent was clogged and when the axle got hot the pressure had to go somewhere. With the new axle seal it went somewhere else, I am surprised it wasn't out the other side seal. When anything is done to the axle the vent should be checked (make sure it wiggles) and clean it to ensure it wiggles.
Clogged with Ground Metal Shavings, no less!
These are known for having bad vents. Should have been replaced. Theres a service bulletin for it. Second time this cars been in for the same problem. Should have searched to see if its a common issue and would have seen the service bulletin. She will be back even more pissed when ot happens a 3rd time
Its soo nice to randomly hear "Bad apple" in the background 4:10
I thought I was imagining it lmfao
I have a lovely part number that’ll help you out tremendously on filling with bottles.
W1139
I picked up one at O’Reillys and I love it.
Having done many diff services on Ford 8.8's, I can for sure tell you they have real gaskets for that diff cover! 🙂
Yes, put paper gasket on them, so I can fix more ; ) Hehe.
Man, the way you manage to be creative in talking to yourself (and us viewers) while working is exemplary. Wish I had the creativity to do something like that, because I mostly grumble some unfinished sentences to myself when there's nobody around (being the only IT person in a company kinda sucks when it comes to not having a like-minded colleague to talk to). Oh well, I guess I will have to hang in there, knowing that when I get home I get to watch more funny stuff from Ray and his workplace. Thank you for keeping up the positivity, it really helps in the long run.
You make mechanic work a joy to watch. You really investigate to repair a vehicle instead of replace parts. A well deserved attaboy.
he missed one of the thousand of articles about a TSB related to that air bleed valve and replacing it with a different set of parts. Could have saved a bunch of gear oil and time.
Yeah so what exactly did he investigate? He dumped perfectly good gear oil just to replace it with more. Didn't even address the real issue. Just cleaned the axle.
Do we miss the DO-DEE-DO-DEE-DO? A little bit, but going from a bay technician to a business owner and watching this journey, has made Ray one of my go-to channels on RUclips.
Love the enthusiasm and focus on his work, and all the fun/stupid stuff too.😅
The epitome of “don’t let the bastards grind you down”.
I just love that "Bad Apple" is playing in the background.
I remember these having vent issues from my dealership days. There is a TSB which calls for replacing the vent if it’s a bad leak.
💥 I'm Here Seeking Turbo Shots Of Brake Clean Spray . . . . . 13:07 . . . . . And I Was Richly Rewarded ! 🏆 Yessss ! ✊
That drive by doodeedoo was awesome.
I knew I heard Bad Apple in the background. I used to listen to that every morning on the way to work back when I worked at a terrible tire shop for a while.
Ray is BIG BRAINING didnt even think about that 14:48
Hey Ray Its good to see a mechanic that goes the extra mile even if it takes a little longer. I know when i was done I got a good nights sleep. Keep up the honest work. You are a man with integrity
This episode gave me flashbacks to those old school cartoons.
"The word of the day is, 'Conjunction'."
"Conjunction, junction, what's your function?"
"Spraying off the gear oil that's leakin' through the vent!"
Respect ray for the amount of time and quality vids. He's working 2 jobs to provide us some entertainment!. Thanks ray!
@Marty's 4x4 mechanic and RUclipsr
I used the Permatex Right Stuff 90 minute gasket maker on my transmission pan gasket during a filter replacement and drain and fill. I put the Permatex Right Stuff 90 minute gasket maker on the pan side only after cleaning the pan. Waited 1 hour to torque it to spec and another 90 minutes to 2 hours after that. The transmission has not leaked a drop and it's been 6 months so far so good!
Yeah, that axle vent gets nasty; had to clean mine out awhile back for leaking, too. Later got replaced (repair shop somehow damaged the cap when putting a new gear set in). Hard use will net some overflow as well in time. The 70w90 is the stuff and if using one for competition (drag or heavy spirited driving, for example) I recommend a girdled cover. Ford put 75w140 in it originally...for some reason, so I burnt up some axle bearings PLUS a hard bit on the strip ate chunks out of the carrier bearings along with destroying the stupid 2-pc driveshaft. Now have a solid 1-pc steel shaft, custom-made for the car by a buddy that makes HD off-road ones, new everything, and all is well! The 8.8 is tough and versatile, but maintenance is key. Also, if the vehicle sits too long, expect seepage from the axle/pinion seals...along with a LITTLE from driving it; nature of the beast with how the seals work. Great video, thanks!
The old Fords from the '60s through the '80s had a rubber hose on the vent nipple, typically going up into a hole in the frame rail with a clip to keep it there. I'm sure that would take care of the problem.
@Marty's 4x4 theres a service bulletin for these vents failing. Second time in for the samething should have been looked into and would have seen its a common problem w a TSB/technical service bulletin. Shes guna be pissed when she comes back a 3rd time for the samething. Hopefully someones smart enough to look into next time
10,424,904 miles is almost exactly 2^24 km (just about 25 miles over). So this could be a single bit that got flipped due to cosmic radiation, which happens from time to time. But where did the 95000 miles go? Maybe the memory got corrupted/wiped? Or an error during data transfer to the scan tool.
If it’s 10 million miles, ford should give this guy a latest gt500 as reward like the guy with f150 over the odometer limit iirc?
Seems to be a logical explanation.
The reason that it has 10mio miles and shows 95.000 could be that usely multiple computers inside the car counting miles.
The cockpit computer shows the correct 95k and the engine computer he is checking has the flipped bit and shows 10 mio.
The 25miles of could be the case that the engine got tested on a dyno in the factory for normal quality control.
@@jonasstahl9826 I still don't understand why the 95,000 miles are missing, though. Did it not count them for some reason? Maybe it was defective and stopped at 25 miles, then the bit flip occurred at some point in the past 11 years. Very strange.
Something is obviously wrong. An in service date of 1/1/2011 through today is 4229 days, which would mean the car has been driven 2465 miles per day. Even converting 10M km to miles would result in 1532 miles per day. A single decimal place shift of 153 miles per day is 55k miles per year.
@@joemrkvicka3393 Thanks for doing the math. I was going to do it out of shear boredom on a Monday at work. I thought I would check "Comments" first. That's alot of friggn driving. And on Mustangs tiny gas tank, that's alot of exercise.
I like watching your channel. you obviously know what you're doing, but mostly because you're funny with your sound effects and your cheerful attitude. keep it up!
Wow that is a museum piece!! It looks great for 10000k miles!
with that many miles they'd have to leave it on the dyno with cruise control set lol.
After using silicone gasket maker, cure times have to be observed. Uncured silicone will leak. I'm surprised that your shop doesn't have a bulk dispenser for gear oil. Is the vent removable? If so, unscrew it, clean it out, and then reinstall. When refilling, allow time for the gear oil to settle in the pumpkin. Check level again, with your finger.
there is a tsb issued way back on the 2011 regarding the vent issue and vents burnt by the exhaust on the v8s there is a new design vent that came out to solve this issue
Wasn’t a V8
@@Cdub541 i know it wasn't but there is a new breather by ford to solve the leaking issue its just an extended breather though
For adding the diff fluid, I have always used a suction gun. Pull back the plunger,unscrew cap,pour in required fluid, reinstall cap,insert hose,push plunger forward,fill the pumpkin or whatever. Sometimes you might have to make a step down to the hose to fit the orfice. A quality chef style turkey baster often works well also.
'quality chef style turkey baster' a certified ase (or whatever) stainless steel baster.
10 million miles is 909 thousand a year, or 103 miles an hour all day every day, that's got to be a glitch in the matrix
Or it might be a matrix in the glitch
Or the matrix is the glitch
@@jacobcutrer or the matrix is the glitch
Na man that’s obviously not very hard to do… Scotty Kilmer never made a video about what you are saying so I don’t know
I enjoy your program not sure which park I enjoy more the trouble and repair skills or the comments ! I find both enjoyable. Thanks for making them!
Sorry to hear your house move is to be delayed,
you've gone back to the "i'll try better next time" line on the last few closeouts, but personally I love the "I don't care that's your problem not mine" version
Probably the most brake clean action we've seen here so far. 🤣🤣
Been a long wait, but aaaaaaahhh! Go Ray!
I think Ray has stock in the brake cleaner companies, first time I saw him with two cans at once.
He's done it before, a true menace with those cans
@@minnesotaman3 yes he does have a tendency to dual wield
You should have added a vent line and brought it up well above the diff. When I worked at GM we used to add a fuel filter on the end of said line on stubborn vehicles that leaked from the remote hose.
Love your comedy whilst doing your job Wish I had a mechanic like you in my area
My brother drove a 1 ton Chevy step van Denver to Wisconsin, freeway all the way. He was stopping to add rear end grease every 100 miles or so. We talked later about it, said the grease was coming out the vent fitting. I had a "wild blue yonder" flash. That truck had never been driven that fast for any distance, so this never came up. I said that MAYBE the step van body created weird air currents and there might actually be a low pressure area right there. I suggested he put a piece of fuel line over the vent and clamp it up high on the underbody. No more problems!
Ray your “money shot” to the face made me remember when I was in the Army and we had to take oil samples. One of my squad members crawled under a running 30t crane to get a sample only to have the sampling valve crack and cover him from head to belt buckle in diesel oil.
A true grease monkey? An oil miner? 63C?
Bet that was warm
@@clickprovider8505 warm? I would be surprised if he didn't have like 3rd degree burns
Oh crap... Funny if he's ok.
@@Mazdatree it actually wasn’t running long enough to burn him.
Easy on the brake cleaner there, Ray!
All the fumes coming from that stuff may cause you to hear a whole lot more doodley- doos than we doo. You know, spinny head stuff. Kind of like inhaling too much raw gasoline. 😅😅 P.S. Ever heard of something called purple power? Great degreaser. Great video!!
Sadly, as well as the fumes giving the head a few too many beers feeling now, they can, after years of breathing them and absorbing through skin lead to you hearing a surgeon say " I'm sorry to say, I've got some bad news for you. "😱
Not a nice thing for you or love ones to hear. 🤷♀
I can smell it here in the UK🤣
SLATS = Self-Lubricating Axle Tube System. Judging by the petrified state of that diff's exterior, it sure needs it.
In other parts of the country it could be call an RBUDS (Ar-Buds) Rust Belt Undercarriage Defense System. Though this is usually only useful when it's the engine leaking oil.
You watch CSW too? 😂
@@jessepickar3297 - Yep! 😀
I would just replace the vent. They’re pretty cheap and will last that much long. Plus if it comes back, you’ll know it’s not the issue.
I love that Valvoline stuff in the bags. So easy to use.
When working with things like differential covers, get a couple of bolts of the proper thread size and pitch. Cut the heads off. After cleaning the surface, screw the headless bolts into two of the top bolt holes, and hang the cover from the bolts while you get the rest started. Snug the rest down, then replace the 2 headless bolts with the original bolts and finish the job. Cut slots for a flat blade screwdriver if you want, drill for cotter pins if you have trouble keeping the cover hanging on the bolts.
There's supposed to be a hose from the axle to the body that stops it from doing exactly what it is.
Trucks, SUV 4x4 and 4x2 only.
fords are notorious for leaks when the vent is in the axle tube instead of the TOP OF THE DIF!! hard driving or parking in a angle/slope will cause the oil to run to that tube/ fill it, and then come out the overflow vent. Ask customer if they park the car on a slope/ angle. Also the FORD vent likes to fail, the check ball likes to stick open...
That oil in the rear-end looked fine to me. Efforts to the right side should have been the proper repair.
Some diff oils get aerated more than others. I use Redline Heavy Shockproof in all my cars and trucks as it is the best diff oil, but my late Jeep had habit of puking some oil out from the vent even though it was with the hose going up over 10" or more. So, the umbrella cup of a normal axle is more prone of that if the diff itself is of exessively aerating type.
I've finally seen someone who uses more brake cleaner than me!!!! Bravo my man!!!
Another great Rainman production. Dueling brake clean cans. It's been a few episodes. Its a great cleaner. I always have a can around. OK it's a mustang. You really think it's been grandma'ed to the store? My nefew tries to drift his BMW and it's a luxury car. Warm that fluid and try that. Watch how much fluid comes out. This does not mean the overflow is stuck or defective. I would say it's doing its job. They were just nonremovable floating caps. I doubt they have changed much. Clean it, check it over, just like ray did.
You know I like how everyone says how they would do it. See one of the things you might get to realize as you get older, No, 2 people do a job the same. That does not mean wrong or right just different. Replacing overflow, seems pointless. It's an overflow, don't give it Reason to work and it won't. Oh he should have cleaned axle before removing cover. Why? It was not aimed that way. This is Rays show. He does consistently good work. I'll defer to his judgement. You try to work, make a video and have someone pick you apart. See like it's said, hind sight is 20/20. I'll bet most of you would not last a week in Rays shoes.
Well said my friend, well said! 👏
Replacing the overflow/vent is not pointless when these a service bulletin. Since this is the second time the cars been in for this that should have been checked for
Ray, I wonder why that vent wasn't attached to a hose that would let out the air but if routed correctly wouldn't leak oil?
For the reading of 10,424,904 miles on the odometer: this looks like the maximal integer value for a 24 bit number, if we assume the scan tool internally works with kilometers instead of miles.
When we use the following conversion factor for miles -> km :1.60934, we get the following.
(2^24-1)/1.60934 = 10,424,903.997
A mere 0.003 miles off what the scantool says.
Seems too close to be a coincidence.
(Mind you, this is not the most exact conversion factor, the actual one is 1.609344, so I truncated the final 4)
Why the scantool -- or the car's internal computer -- works with a 24 bit unsigned integer in this millennium is a mystery to me. Perhaps someone else can fill that bit of the mystery in.
Uhhh yea what he/she said.....
Good catch. You think it could be related to the single stall event?
@@BixbyConsequence I don't think so, no. The car itself seems to know its mileage well; 95k miles. So I would guess either a bug in the scantool, or some kind of problem in the data transfer from the car to the tool. Perhaps the tool is reading out the wrong memory address or something, which is all 1's. But that's pure speculation.
Maybe they ran it in reverse and it rolled over...to negative milage, ha ha.
A previous comment pointed out a possible bit flip due to cosmic radiation. It happens on very rare occasions, and also one of the reasons why servers that run 24/7 use error-correcting (ECC) RAM to account for the bit flip (among other reasons).
As a real world occurrence, this happened during a town election in Europe when a bit flip caused one of the candidates to have obscenely more electronic votes than the town population. A hint was that the vote count was also almost exactly a base 2 number.
Ray loving the Daul brake cleaning also I think there should be a word of the day every because its funny 👍
Older axles back in the day had problems with oil coming out the vent. A fitting installed where the vent went to attach a hose (trans cooler hose works well) with the vent attached at the end of the hose works well. Just have to raise it up a bit and secure it. Also, make sure the correct gear oil is installed. :D
Ray the vent needs changing bud and a vent pipe fitting
More cleaning than fixing for sure. Something must be up with that vent on the axel.
Hehe. Do you guys buy brake clean by the pallet load?
I thought the oil coming out looked awfully thin for gear oil but the new stuff seemed the same.
Wouldn't it have been prudent to change the vent?
Gotta love how every object has its own specific gravity😊
SO satisfying seeing the clean pumpkin cover……..👍🏽
Another quality video! Question Ray, Has the shop ever given you a hard time about using so much brake clean?
Gets paid for under shop supplies, customer pays.
I also wondered the same, Oh he splashes those suckers, mehn..😂😂
He goes overboard for the channel so I imagine he makes it good with the shop in some way.
Hey Josh Peets@ I was thinking about that too,it seems like Ray would be using the shop's parts solvent cleaner machine instead of all those cans of brake cleaner...🤔
The Subaru shop I used to deal with had a huge bulk tank of solvent and the techs all had "sure shot" cans that could be refilled and pressurized with air. It was supposed to be less expensive than going through all those cans.
Hey Ray, since you seem to work on many makes and models, did you ever think of doing a couple of videos on best/worst cars to own/work on?
Don't give him any ideas, he might just turn into the next Scotty Kilmer 😂
@@jessepickar3297 ROFL!!!
Think you could have removed the vent, cleaned and inspected.
Of course not why would he go in and check out the source of the problem instead of grabbing the customers money and redoing something that was recently done. TSB on that vehicle for that issue was to replace the vent with an upgraded part from Ford and if needed a vent hose attached to it

Well done! These types of practical videos are much appreciated. Your excellent narration along with Jolenes outstanding camera technique makes your videos worth watching.
The best way to fill the diff with oil is a short peace of small hose. Slide it up on the oil jug and squeeze!! Works great every time. And you wont spill a drop!! Try it!!!
$120 for the rear differential service and $75 for brake cleaner.
The engine stalling while driving, I am going to bet that the fuel pump driver module is going out, seen this countless times. Mechanics bring the cars and trucks to me because they couldn’t figure it out, after they spent allot of time changing the fuel pumps because they thought that was bad.
Try soaking with WD40 before the clean, I work in U/G mining and it usually gets most of the filth build up off easier.
Also, do you guys pay your own consumables like brake clean etc or does the shop buy and pass on a consumables fee?
"shop supplies"
I knew the answer to that question before Ray used up the first can of brake clean. The first can he used 3yrs ago when I first started watching Ray.
I've seen a hilux with 2 million miles on it on the original motor, transmission and transfer case, the only thing wrong with it was a noisy rear wheel bearing and an axle seal leaking into the drum which fucked the shoes... Not related to the video but the 10 million mile reading caught my attention and reminded me of it...
For an easier way to pump the oil in that I use is a outboard marine lower end gear oil pump, they screw right on to the bottles and you have a handy dandy little hose to fill up the diff or where ever. works great to refill transmissions and transfer cases also
It has been a life saver
This is a nugget of wisdom +1 to you sir
@@oriwittmer my father tought me that a long time ago, he wrenched for 40 years, it's the little things like this that only a seasoned mechanic would know, also not every job has to be done by the book, through my years of mechanics the books and all data info are helpfull, but sometimes there is going to be a faster way to get it done, sometimes not.
4:19 Do I hear Bad Apple in the background?
You can tell from the start of this video he wasn't interested in finding a problem, and didn't believe there was a problem until he saw the oil on the axle. Even then he didn't address the problem with the vent, and just sprayed brake clean like an idiot.
"It can't reach the top of the fill hole because it's a hole"
Sooo wrong, you just need to make sure it goes in faster than it's coming out 😂
Easy to do in cold weather with 85W140 weight gear oil ;)
Ending with a nice and shiny rear end. Love it. Great job as always.
I have do the differentials on my Jeep and I am going to use the Permatex Right Stuff 90 minute on it, less wait time!
I wonder if it's got stop/start and it's turning off and they think it has stalled.
Lol def not on a 2011 Mustang v6
not in2011 that was before the nanny state nonsense started
If that Mustang was really 10 million miles he'd be the world record holder of the highest mile longest running Mustang in the world
It would have been quite an effort to achieve that figure. It would have to have been driven at more than 100mph for 24 hours per days, 365 days per year, for its entire life!
Computer doesn't lie
@@xephael3485 maybe a car that has idled too much?
@@PinguimFU Idle doesnt affect the mileage
I don't know what kind of support snap-on has for their tools, but for example if that was a Volvo tool and I made a support ticket they would be very eager to do a remote connect and figure out where the calculation goes wrong.
So did just changing the diff oil fix the leak? Ever really determine the cause of the leak?
We will never know.1
I doubt it. Theres a service bulletin for replacing it. Second time this cars been in for the samething. Should have checked for that. Quick Google search shows its a common issue w a service bulletin. She will be pissed when she comes back for it a 3rd time unless she goes somewhere else cause shes sick of spemding money for no reason
You can always clean it and then drive it. I never drive first for a leak complaint especially without checking fluid
My mothers 2011 Edge with I think the same engine... had a random stall at red light... I drove it 8 times before I could replicate her issue. As soon as it happened, I thought it was vacuum issues... turned out to the leak brake booster... once that part was replaced, not only did the breaks work better, the vehicle has not stalled at a stop since. Two different shops and a dealer said nothing was wrong with her car and that maybe it was bad gas.... One even suggested that Fords that are 10+ years on the road don't like the cold Canadian weather and blamed the temp... Her Sync screen recently failed though.. gota love Ford radio issues huh....
Its impossible for there to be even a 1million mile mustang given the rising number of Jersey barriers currently in use.
I thought that the vent should have a hose connected to keep oil from coming out as the axle bounces up and down.
The internal casting that holds the differential gears is called the case. The carrier is the external housing that holds the assembly together. You have it reversed. I am a retired engineer from Chrysler manufacturing, so, working in the axle manufacturing plant for 20 of my 40 years of experience gives me the moral authority to correct you. Take that, Rainman! 😀
I was waiting for the brake clean interaction sound. WATCH OUT ERIC O! Awesome video Ray.
I love this land line phone music it's one of a kind.
